Turned out really nice. Kept a great unstrung profile, I bet it spits fire.

 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thank you, Drums, for all your extra effort to share this.  I appreciate the opportunity to learn from these build alongs.  Its great to see your tools and techniques and to gain a better understanding of proceedures I haven't tried yet. 

Very grateful.

Here are a few pics of the proud new owner. The pics are much better in the daylight and sunshine. Again, thanks all for the kind words. It means something coming from your peers.
